What is Dry Needling Therapy?
Dry needling is a therapeutic technique used to treat musculoskeletal pain and dysfunction. It involves inserting thin, solid needles into trigger points or tight bands of muscles to stimulate a healing response. Unlike acupuncture, which is based on traditional Chinese medicine, dry needling focuses on releasing muscle tension and improving function in specific areas of the body.
How Does Dry Needling Work?
During a dry needling session, our skilled therapists use sterile needles to target trigger points or knots in muscles. This process helps reduce muscle tightness, improve blood flow, and promote the release of natural pain-relieving chemicals in the body. Dry needling can be effective for treating a variety of conditions, including:
- Muscle Pain and Tension: Back pain, neck pain, shoulder pain, and headaches.
- Sports Injuries: Strains, sprains, and overuse injuries.
- Chronic Pain Conditions: Fibromyalgia, sciatica, and temporomandibular joint (TMJ) dysfunction.
- Repetitive Strain Injuries: Carpal tunnel syndrome, tennis elbow, and plantar fasciitis.
